Unfortunately I did not notice the preference poll in time. My vote
would not have changed the result. But for the record: I would have
voted "no".
Cheers,
Andreas

> The CfC to transition Microdata to CR failed in November 2012. The only objections to this CfC were about whether the Microdata specification should be on the Recommendation track.
>
> These objections were documented in Bug 20082 [1]. These objections have now been resolved by the WG Decision based on a preference poll that indicated the HTML WG wanted the Microdata specification to remain on the Recommendation track [2].
>
> With the only objections dealt with and with ample support, this resolution now passes.

> Subject: CfC: Request transition of HTML Microdata to Candidate Recommendation
>
> In accordance with both the W3C process's requirement to record the group's decision to request advancement[1], and with the steps identified in the "Plan 2014" CfC[2], this is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to request transition to CR for the following document:

> http://htmlwg.org/cr/microdata/Overview.html
>
> Silence will be taken to mean there is no objection, but positive responses are encouraged. If there are no objections by Monday, November 26th, this resolution will carry.
>
> Considerations to note:
>
> - A request to advance indicates that the Working Group believes the specification is stable and appropriate for implementation.
>
> - The specification MAY still change based on implementation experience.
